about Gloucester

Gloucester (pronounced 'Gloster') is a city in south-west England, close to the Welsh border. In 1991 it had a population of 106,526. Traditionally Gloucester has been the county town of Gloucestershire.

It is located on the left (east) bank of the River Severn, 114 miles west-north-west of London. It is sheltered by the Cotswolds on the east, while the Malvern Hills and the Forest of Dean rise prominently to the west and north-west.

Gloucester is a port, linked via the Gloucester and Sharpness shipping canal to the Severn estuary, allowing larger ships to reach the docks than would be possible on the tidal reaches of the river itself. The wharves, warehouses and the docks themselves fell into considerable disrepair until the 1980s, at which point they were renovated and form a public open space for the city's residents. Some warehouses now house the National Waterways Museum, others were converted into luxury residential apartments, shops and bars.
